Thanks

I can show a picture of mine tomorrow...but basically I have the steering servo and speed controller (T180) at the back and battery pretty much as far forward in the well.. (where radio box would go on a nitro boat)
Another note is that I glued my ciwl to thw hull then cut out a section

I have spec boat built that way but ended up building a box for my q boat. Are you a vision hull also?

17" long
2 5/8 wide
3" tall front
3 1/2 tall rear
Box is fastened to a 1/2 X 1/2 wood block in front and 2 -1/4" drilled holes for pegs on box at the rear conforming to the transom buildup. Plus Velcro on bottom it removes and a shorter radio box plus a fuel tank converts easily back to nitro.

Hey Ron, can you please show them? I hope it still looks the same as when I sent it....I know Shane drives things hard! haha he did tell me he drove the Dragon stickers off it ;-)
But it would come with a Turnigy 180 Speedy (extra capacitors), 1/4 scale steering servo...basically bolt on an outboard
I would prefer to sell minus the outboard as it is a K&B lower unit that I spent a bit of time on modifyinginteresting...exactly what stuff comes with it, or is it just the naked boat.....Did I mention my Q boat will be for sale at the event?

the cowling mounting is very interesting, I want to do that too, but don't have the guts to start working on that......Kris,
I only took these two pics so I could remember how you mounted the cowling and created the exit at the transom. Hope these help. Great setup!!

I agree Ron. I had heard of people enclosing the cowling like that for FE use but Kris's was the first one I had a chance to see in person. Don't tell him I said this, but he really did a great job!!!....the cowling mounting is very interesting, I want to do that too, but don't have the guts to start working on that......Kris,

Kris,
That bottom is no secret....LOL It was around many many years ago. All of my Proglass Tunnels have that same bottom that was designed by my good friend Martin Tidwell way back in early 2000!!!

Kris,
Will you be running a full fleet of your Dragons at the Herb Race, including the FE versions? Looks like they have a great lineup of drivers and tunnels coming to that race so it should be a great test base for you.
